In statistical mechanics, entropy is defined as a fundamental quantity. However, its unit, J / K , involves that of temperature, which is only subsequently defined—and defined in terms of ...
As a promising alternative to conventional computing paradigms, the neuromorphic computing has been demonstrated by using various artificial synaptic devices. Due to the excellent capability for the ...
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have attracted considerable attention for carrier-selective passivation contacts in crystalline silicon (c-Si) heterojunction solar cells. Among them, zirconium dioxide ...
Normal conducting linear particle accelerators consist of multiple rf stations with accelerating structure cavities. Low-level rf (LLRF) systems are employed to set the phase and amplitude of the ...
The addition of a small quantity of flexible fibers in a granular material is an efficient technique to increase the yield stress of the material. While the influence of fiber addition on the ...
Nanophotonic resonators are central to numerous applications, from efficient spin–photon interfaces to laser oscillators and precision sensing. A leading approach consists of photonic crystal (PhC) ...
